    I'm using Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals w/ the lab manual. One of the better books I've seen for a cert so far.

    Not quite ready to dive into this class just yet. Im taking both my A+ exams next week, and the next month or so will be focused on Net+ but once I knock it out, im thinking hitting this. Either way, I ordered this book today, hopefully I find it as useful as the rest of you!
